The earliest documented organized police force was established in 7 BC under Roman Emperor Augustus, known as the Cohortes Urbanae, to keep peace on the streets of Rome.

Even just switching from beef to chicken has s 4x reduction in CO2 costs and had less fat and calories.

“Took another person an hour to make”

This part is going to be difficult.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Personally we can aim for 100% but we are more likely to influence someone from carnivore -> 90% vegan than carnivore -> 100% vegan.

I agree, but I don’t understand how this contradicts my comment.

Wasn’t trying to prove you wrong. I was trying to say that Vegan + a bit of cheese (b12) is perfectly fine for the “can’t do vegan” people.

Similarly, people who can’t live without their steak/burger/bacon. Fine. Only have it once a week, or once a month.

A 100% vegan diet shouldn’t be the goal.

Converting 10 people to a 90% vegan diet is more achievable than making 9 people 100% vegan.

I don’t need to explain why this is huge!

You don’t need to, but it would be nice if you did.

Would you prefer a LIMP or a PIMP? Or are you a WIMP?

Rename the mascot IMP then.

Wilber is a name.

Pre 2008 conviction contacts can be excused by ignorance. E.g. Stephen Hawking visited Epstein Island with other scientists in 2006.

Gates was happy to make house visits to Epstein in 2011-2014

I’m saying that case by case, person by person there are alternatives (software and/or processes). E.g.

• If you want features A,B,C then use alternative X

• If you want features C,D,E then use alternative Y

• If you want features A,D,F then use alternative Z

But if your team needs A,B,C,D,E & F then we come to your point that there is no alternative.

I just didn’t want people reading this thread to automatically jump to the “must use excel” conclusion.

There are lots of Excel alternatives.

There is nothing that matches every single feature of excel in 2026.

There are economies of scale from collective warehousing and delivery. That could be run as a co-op rather than a capitalist structure.

Could this just be AI scrapers running Linux?

Disagree. Roblox and Fortnite metaverses will continue long after VR disappears.

Those glasses are the evolution of VR.

It means different things to different people.

Roblox is the most successful example.

It’s an older code but it checks out

Is it as good as Google desktop was?
